- W47022841 abstract "In 1975 J. Paul Hunter registered his surprise criticism has had so little to say about the function of politics in Tom Jones.1 Up to that time, only two interpretive essays on the subject had appeared: Martin Battestin's well-known discussion of the political implications of the gypsy episode, and a helpful piece by Anthony Kearney.2 Since then no fewer than five critics have helped to fill this gap in Fielding scholarship.3 But in spite of all this attention, a systematic treatment of the novel's meaning in relation to the Jacobite uprising of 1745 has yet to be undertaken. Many suggestive insights have been reached, but commentators have fought shy of viewing the novel as, in part, a political allegory. They have also emphasized, understandably enough, the ways in which Tom Jones rehearses its author's opposition to Jacobitism. I will be arguing that the novel does support an allegorical interpretation along political lines, and that its attitude toward Jacobitism mixed. Setting his novel in 1745, the year of the last Jacobite attempt to restore the Stuart monarchy, Fielding endows his major characters with politically significant traits, engaging them in a domestic drama that recapitulates and ultimately reconciles the historic conflict between Jacobite and Whig.4 In reconciling these opposing political philosophies, however, Fielding far from placing them on an equal footing. On the contrary, his novel everywhere implies the of limited monarchy. Cause of King George,' Tom asserts, is the Cause of Liberty and true Religion. In other Words, it the Cause of common Sense.5 Bertolt Brecht remarks somewhere that assertions of naturalness or common sense signal an abandonment of the effort to understand. One might add that they are also an attempt to obscure, in the glare of a spurious clarity, the understanding of others. The of the Whig political philosophy may be self-evident to Jones and his creator, but to Caleb Balderstone of Scott's Bride of" @default.
